Arne Engels ain’t letting the rumor mill affect him before the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup final. Reports are buzzing about Atalanta eyeing a bid for him this summer, but Engels ain’t sweating it. The lad, signed from Augsburg in Germany for a hefty £11m last August, claims he ain’t even aware of any interest from the Italian side. He’s got his sights set on the clash with Aberdeen at Hampden tomorrow.
Who’s this lad Engels, you might ask? Well, he’s a Belgian internationalist playing for Brendan Rodgers’ squad. He’s all about helping the team snag a domestic treble this weekend and leveling up his game in the upcoming 2025/26 season. Asked about the Atalanta chatter, Engels shrugged it off, saying, “I didn’t read it so it’s the first time that I heard about it. There will always be something to write or to talk about.”
On the flip side, Engels ain’t the only one facing summer speculation. The lad’s just focused on the next game and leveling up his skills. He’s keen on ironing out the kinks, notching up wins, and striving for a better season next year. The lad’s got his eyes set on European glory and more silverware in the trophy cabinet. It’s all about that winning feeling, you know?
Now, Engels spilled the beans about why he moved to Parkhead this season. The lad wanted a taste of that trophy-winning life, and boy, has he savored it. The lad’s got a hunger for more medals in the seasons to come. Winning the treble would be the cherry on top for him. It’s been a dream to lift trophies, and he’s relishing every moment of it. The lad’s hungry for that winning vibe, and Celtic seems to be the perfect place for him to soak it all in.
